MONROE — A local motorcyclist who hit a car that ran a stop sign Thursday night remains in critical condition at a trauma center this morning, police said.

Robert T. Maresco, 48, was driving his Harley-Davidson south on Spotswood-Englishtown Road at approximately 8:30 p.m. Nada J. Chedid, 47, of the Kendall Park section of South Brunswick was driving her Acura west on Mounts Mills Road at the same moment.

Police said Chedid passed through the stop sign, continuing across the intersection with Spotswood-Englishtown Road. Maresco struck Chedid’s car broadside, and he was ejected off the Harley.

The police responded to the scene, and Maresco was quickly transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. He remains in critical condition there, according to Pete Haigney, a hospital spokesman.

Chedid and a 22-year-old passenger were not injured.

No charges have been filed, according to police. However, an investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crash is encouraged to contact Officer Sergeis Jangols at (732) 521-0222, ext. 260.
